Tocopherol supplementation reduces PQ-induced activation of ROS-scavenging enzymes. The activities of catalase, GST and SOD (A, B and C) were measured in SN, FC and hippocampus of mouse brain after PQ treatment. PQ treatment increased enzyme activities significantly compared to saline-treated controls. The values of enzyme activities after PQ treatment followed by tocopherol supplementation remained significantly lower than PQ-treated values, and were higher than saline-treated control values. Tocopherol supplementation did not alter enzyme activity compared to control values.
